  3. Character map Lady Capulet Lord Montague Lord Capulet Lady Montague Juliet Romeo Love at first sight Nurse (also friend) Tybalt (cousin) Mercutio(friend) Benvolio(cousin) Wants to marry Prince Escales (cousin) Paris (cousin)

  4. Act 1, Scene 2 • Following his talk with the Prince, Capulet is at peace with idea that he and Montague should start to live at peace with each other. • Relationship between Capulet and Juliet: Earth hath swallow’d all my hopes but she” (line 14) • Capulet consents to the marriage of Paris and Juliet, if she agrees. • Capulet sends out a servant to invite people to his party, but what’s the problem? (lines 38-44) What happens then?

  5. Act 1, Scene 3 • Questions: • What do we learn from the role of the Nurse in lines 8-11? • How old is Juliet? • How many children does the Nurse have? • Lady Capulet describes Paris in lines 80-95. How does Juliet react to her mother’s description? (see lines 98-100)

  6. Act 1, Scene 4 • Benvolio and Mercutio persuade Romeo to join them in gatecrashing the Capulet’s masquerade ball. • Gatecrashing parties, or masquerading, was popular in the late sixteenth century: a gentleman could visit a party to which they had not been invited. The host regarded the arrival of masquers as flattery, not as an intrusion.

  7. Act 1, Scene 5 • Romeo and Juliet see each other for the first time and instantly fall in love. • While Romeo stands in wonder he is observed by Tybalt, who recognises Romeo as being a Montague. Capulet does not want them to fight. • Lines 92-105 – how do Romeo and Juliet divulge their feelings for one another?
